I have a number of plays, but very few places to list them. You'll find extracts
and details of the following on my website http://www.acolinwright.ca and
(for the first three only as yet) on http://www.productionscripts.com.
<br>
<br>1. "Lieutenant Kizhe," based on the satire about a non-existent hero, by
Yury Tynianov with music by Sergei Prokofiev.
<br>
<br>2. "Germany Calling," based on the life of William Joyce, the British
traitor known as Lord Haw-Haw because of his radio broadcasts to Britain
during the war.
<br>
<br>3. "Really, Judith," a new interpretation of the story of Judith who,
according to Apocrypha, gained admission to the tent of the invading general
Holofernes in order to kill him--only here she's seen as passionately in love
with him.
<br>
<br>4. "Out of This World," almost a farce, involving a broad-minded
professor of theology, his "outragious" mistress, her confidence-trickster
husband who's escaped from prison, and a forgetful but traditional head of
the department of religion.
<br>
<br>5. "Tangle of the Isles," where an impoverished businessman discovers
his house in the Hebrides has been taken over by a bunch of "lay sisters."
<br>
<br>6. "The Loss of My Good Name," based on the proposition that the works
attributed to Shakespeare were in fact written by the Earl of Oxford.
<br>
<br>7. "Unlikely Ceremonies": three one-act plays designed to be performed
by the same six actors on the same evening. Celebrations where everything
goes wrong, with hilarious conclusions: "George's Funeral" (the straight
comedy), "Nora's Anniversary" (the tragi-farce) and "Jennifer's Wedding" (the
farce, ending with a same-sex marriage).
